What did I do wrong? Not only did mine come out kind of… “cone” shaped, more like a santa hat, but it also fit my 6 year old daughter. Certainly not me. Used chunky yarn, followed instructions to a T. Even unraveled it all and started over… Ever had either of those issues?

Mine is cone-shaped and very tight as well. It is because it doesn’t have enough rows in-between the increased stitch for bigger heads. I made mine into a slouch and it is super tight with a band on it. Before I put the banding on it, it was tight anyway. You need to add a row of 18 and 24 in between your increases, and if you’re still having the issue of it being too small, add another of the 12 stitches. The Lion Brand Hometown yarn being super chunky, for me seems thicker than other “super chunky” yarns, because I used a different brand super chunky and had enough to make 15 rounds, but it had the cone shape but I’m not messing with taking it apart. I needed more stitches and more rows in between the increased stitches.
